Thank You Notice
of Acknowledgement

My dear mother (who
is the last surviving Guttmann) and I (Kalman) are enormously
indebted to Eliezer
Segal (left),
Professor of Jewish Studies at University of Calgary, Canada, and
his wife Agnes (who is the archivist of the Calgary Jewish
Historical Society) for their time and efforts in helping with the
"decipherment" of the Hebrew writing of the gravestone of my
Guttmann grandfather below. Their help is a true blessing.

Agnes's parents,
Iréne
and Pál Römer,
are Holocaust survivors, and interesting enough her mother
Iréne is also a Guttmann and a possible relative to my
mother!

I am enormously happy that with the
help
from Professor Segal, we have a translation of the Guttmann's
gravestone for both sides of the stone.[Kalman]

see the pictures of a particular gravestone click on the
corresponding camera icon.

To see a particular English translation click on the
corresponding like icon.

This gravestone contains only Hebrew words and there
is writing on both sides of the stone. This is the first time
that this stone was ever translated into English and our thanks
go to Professor Segal for doing that translation which is
considerably enhanced with the introduction of the
corresponding biblical references.

To see pictures of the gravestone, please click on the
apppropriate icons below.
